|Zac's office |

Fatima was beyond irritated by the stunt that Lisa just pulled and on a normal day she probably wouldn't have paid her any mind but because today was already going shitty she just said "fuck it" and decided to be petty.

Fatima: are you sure you want to know the answer?

Lisa: I asked didn't I?

Fatima: (smiles) okay.

-Fatima walked over to Zac's side of the table and leaned down to kiss him. She felt extra petty and decided to straddle him while still kissing him. Zac didn't resist - he just went along with it because he was honestly just happy to have her in his arms again. After a few seconds Fatima finally stopped the kiss and turned around to face Lisa.

Fatima: babe aren't you gonna answer her?

Lisa: (livid) what the fuck is this? Get off him right now!

Fatima: if he has a problem with me sitting here then let him remove me.

-Zac smiles and wraps his arms around her waist-

Zac: nah you good baby, you got the best seat in the house! And Ms Lopez to answer your question we've been sleeping together for abo-

Lisa: ugh shut up! Just shut the fuck up Zachary! And you Fatima, I hope you know that this is far from over! *storms out*

Lisa slams the door on her way out while Zac laughs but Fatima doesn't because her senses have just came back to her.

Fatima: (panicking) oh my God, what did I just do?

-Fatima tries getting off Zac but he tightens his grip around her waist-

Zac: hey calm down, you didn't do anything wrong.

Fatima: but I did! She's my supervisor and I just know that she's gonna make the remainder of this internship a living hell for me.

Zac: not on my watch! I know you're probably still mad but I meant it when I said that I got you. Let me fix this for you.

Fatima: fix it how?

Zac: I don't know yet but I promise you I'm gonna figure it out. Even though I wish you could sit on my lap forever, I know that you have work to do so you may leave.

Fatima: (stands up) I still can't believe I did that shit! What is this hold you have over me!?

Zac: (smiles) do you like it?

Fatima: no! It's risky and it's dangerous as fuck! We're not even together and I damn near gave up my career for you! Shit what am I gonna give up if we do end up together for real?

Zac: (smirks) I can think of something.

Fatima: stop it!

Zac: (chuckles) okay I'm sorry, I was just tryna lighten the mood.

Fatima: (smiles) you know Zac... there's something I like about you but I can't figure out what. All I know is that I like the thrill I get when I'm with you, it's like nothing and no one matters.

Zac: I totally understand what you mean, I literally put you first before anyone else and I barely even know you.

Fatima: (chuckles) it's crazy.

Zac: well since we're all smiles, how about you take me up on that dinner offer?

Fatima: (thinking) mmm... you know what, sure let's do it! I mean at this point I'm doomed if I do and doomed if I don't.

Zac: (smiles) be ready at 8 o' clock tonight.

Fatima: cool, let me get back downstairs and face the wrath of Ms Lopez.

Zac: how about a kiss for the road?

Fatima: (blushes) I'll see you tonight Zac.

Fatima made her way back downstairs while Zac started making some phonecalls to try and find a way to stop whatever Lisa is planning.

|Finance division|

Fatima took a deep breath before walking back into the office space. Kiki was nowhere in sight while Lisa was sitting behind her desk with the door open. Fatima walked past in silence and made her way to her desk, she sat down and picked out the perfect playlist to help her focus.

A few hours went by and it was finally time to knock off, thankfully Fatima was able to finish all of today's work right on time and email her findings to Lisa just before she logged off. Fatima gave herself a subtle high five to celebrate her finishing the tons of work in a short space of time.

Fatima logged off and turned off her laptop, then she started gathering her bags getting ready to leave and that's when Lisa aggressively put a big box full of papers on her desk.

Fatima: what's all this?

Lisa: they're accounting records.

Fatima: okay... what am I supposed to do with them? Do you want me to deliver them somewhere?

Lisa: you've got brains, figure it out!

Fatima: (sighs) Ms Lisa please don't let what happened upstairs interfere with our work dynamic. It's not my fault that you chose to pry into my personal life. So please just tell me what I need to do with this so I can leave.

Lisa: I want you to audit every last account that's in here.

-Fatima looks through the papers and reads that the box contains over 50 client accounts which date back to at least 5 years and more.

Fatima: you cannot be serious!

Lisa: (smiles) I'm as serious as a heart attack, so you might wanna cancel whatever plans you had for tonight and start working on these papers because I want a final report first thing on Friday morning!

Fatima: what about my current work? Who's gonna do that since you have me working on these out-dated accounts?

Lisa: I'll just delegate your day-to-day tasks to Kiki.

Fatima: but all of these accounts are old and probably no longer in use, so even if I do find some discrepancies there's no point in following through on it. Why are doing this Ms Lopez?

Lisa: because little girl, you're gonna learn the hard way to never ever fuck with a bitch like me!

Fatima: Zac is not gonna let you get away with this.

Lisa: (chuckles) well lucky for me I'm on the board of directors, so in layman's term that means your little boyfriend can't touch even a single hair on my head without the board's permission and the next meeting isn't until a couple of months. So that means I get to have my fun with both of y'all; but unfortunately you'll be the collateral damage since I can't make Zac do anything but I can use you to get to him. Check mate Fatima! (smiles)

Fatima just sat there burning a hole into Lisa as she watched her with rage literally building up inside of her.

Lisa: (about to leave) oh and just because I like to play fair and I could do without seeing your face for a while. You can work from home for the rest of the week, because Lord knows you'll barely be getting any sleep. (chuckles) Remember, your name better be the first thing that pops up in my emails on Friday morning or else your ass is mine!
